As for the short stories, we have lots of returning favorite authors this issue, including Ron Miller (with a new Velda P.I. story), Andrew Welsh-Huggins (with an original mystery, thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), Shannon Taft (another original, thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and Veronica Leigh (with a new Smith Sisters story). New to BCW are Zary Fekete and Phil Giunta (though we hope to see more from them in the future).
And, of course, we have a new solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles and a classic sci-fi tale from Robert F. Young. Lots of good stuff, as always.
